Distracted Mind / Attention Deficit Behavior
Dopamine Function
LuminaTM is designed to support healthy mental function and relaxation-issues related to proper focus, attention, learning, and memory-through modulating the metabolism of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA), and norepinephrine. Formulated to act centrally, within the brain, this advanced formula features docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and LactiumPureTM-which research suggests are able to cross the blood-brain barrier-along with theanine for targeted neurological support.
Patient benefits:
- Dopamine, GABA, and norepinephrine metabolism are implicated in executive brain functions such as
focus, attention, motivation, learning, and memoryu
- Features LactiumPureTM, a patented, bioactive decapeptide that has been shown to support relaxation and a healthy stress response, possibly by influencing GABA
- Provides theanine and DHA, which preliminary research suggests may positively influence the metabolism
of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, GABA, and norepinephrine
Suggested Nutritional Supplementation
- LuminaTM - 2 softgels daily
Lumina is designed to support healthy mental function and relaxation-issues related to proper focus, attention, learning, and memory-through modulating the metabolism of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and norepinephrine.
- Ceralin® Forte - 3 capsules daily
Ceralin Forte is formulated to provide well-rounded support for brain and nerve protection, addressing multiple pathways involved in neurological health.
- EPA-DHA 720 - 2-6 softgels daily
EPA-DHA 720 provides 720 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids from cold water fish per softgel- eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-to help deliver greater support in fewer softgels.
Recommended uses:
- Distracted mind
- Mental focus support
- Relaxation support
CAUTION: Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Avoid use if patient is taking benzodiazepine, anticoagulants, or is consuming alcohol. Do not use before surgery.
